In this condition, the hair follicles gradually become smaller, while the hair becomes finer, shorter and less dense. Over time, this leads to a noticeable reduction in hair density.
Women more commonly experience a widening part and an overall reduction in density across the central scalp. In men, the temples and crown are usually affected.
What causes androgenetic alopecia?
The main contributing factors include:
- genetic predisposition;
- age-related changes;
- hair-follicle sensitivity to hormonal factors.
Can the process be slowed?
The earlier the signs of thinning are identified, the more opportunities there are to preserve hair density and quality.
A modern approach to hair care considers not only the hair itself, but also the condition of the scalp, microcirculation and the follicular environment in which the hair follicle functions.
Regular, comprehensive care helps support scalp health and create favourable conditions for hair growth and retention.
